Presented by The Humane Society of the United States, Animal Care Expo is celebrating its 21st year as the world's largest international education and trade show in the fields of animal care, sheltering and rescue.

During the 2012 Michigan Humane Lobby Day, more than 75 citizens from across Michigan met with lawmakers at the Capitol and urged them to pass legislation to ban the euthanasia of shelter animals by gas chamber, increase protections for dogs at large scale breeding operations, and to increase protections for consumers who purchase sick animals from pet stores and puppy mills.

Following testimony from dozens of advocates and representatives of local and national animal protection groups, the Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 4 voted unanimously to reject Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to repeal important sections a 1998 law setting certain requirements for animal shelters commonly known as the “Hayden Law.”

The Humane Society of the United States applauds the Virginia General Assembly for passing House Joint Resolution 143, patroned by Del. David Englin, D-Alexandria, designating Feb. 28 as Spay Day in Virginia.

En celebración de World Spay Day (Día Mundial de Esterilización), el programa Pets for Life de The Humane Society of the United States anunció que trabajará con organizaciones locales para proporcionar $75.000 en servicios de esterilización/castración gratis para mascotas de comunidades marginadas.
